    They just need a way to let users grant that store the necessary permissions to install and manage apps, which currently requires root

    No it doesn’t? I’m using fdroid to install and manage apps just fine on an Android device without root access.

      It’s a relatively new addition to Android that other app managers can install and update apps without user interaction. Before that you’d have to approve every update manually.
